Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Right Way to Open

This longbow is despised and considered a toy bow, the fundamental reason is that in the power of the bow, the soft bow of half a stone, why is it not welcomed in the military camp, there is not much equipment, at most it is a training bow, the reason is that its power is too small. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the premise of using the same type of materials and manufacturing methods, strength determines the lethality of the bow, and a bow with sufficient lethality can become a reliable weapon on the battlefield.

For the military, the pursuit of sophisticated weapons and equipment is a natural choice, and many people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy better weapons under the premise that standard equipment is not enough to protect themselves.

The reason is very simple, a sophisticated weapon greatly increases the survivability of a soldier on the battlefield, the battlefield is an absolutely bloody world, either you die, or I live, and only by living can I have everything.

This longbow is still an ordinary half-stone bow, which is a toy, at most, because of the price advantage, replacing some soft bows for training.

But in fact, it is not, as far as the current status quo is concerned, such a bow that looks a little child's play is not less than 1.5 stones, or even 2 stones, the power of the bow is not less than 1.5 stones, or even 2 stones, with the power of half a stone, it can exert 1 stone, or even more bow power, in a practical sense, this bow is a treasure.

Why is the Falling Moon Bow so strong, is Danmu stronger than Sun Ji, whether it is the rate of fire or the pulling force, Danmu is not as good as Sun Ji, but Danmu can rely on the Falling Moon Bow to use the power of 10 stones to exert the power of 15 stones, which is an advantage.

Bows that have saved a certain amount of strength are treasures, before, half a stone was the biggest weakness, but now, it is the strongest strength, it represents that the people who can use it are no longer limited to themselves, and the elite archers will expand to a large range.

Among the forbidden army, the number of people is the largest, not the elite archers who can pull out 3 stones, or even 4 stones, such elite marksmen, in any army, belong to a small minority.

The largest number of people is always less than 1 stone, the standard of the forbidden army is that you can pull a stone bow, pulling it apart and using it are two different things, you have 1 stone in your hand, or even 2 stone power, but you may not be able to use a bow of the same strength, maybe after a few times, the strength is exhausted, you can't provide long-range support, such an archer don't want it.

Most people with little talent are only able to use a bow with half or even a quarter of their strength, and because of this, the difference in strength, or the difference in the efficiency of using power, prevents them from becoming archers.

This part of the people really have no talent, in terms of probability, there must be talented people, and there are quite a few, this part of the people, is the most in the entire forbidden army, as long as the longbow enters the forbidden army, the archers can be born on a larger scale, even if it is only doubled, it also represents an increase in long-range strength.

For those who were originally archers, it was not useless, and using a labor-saving bow with less strength would enhance their ability the most, because they were elite themselves, and they had a labor-saving bow, just like Sun Ji and Danmu obtained the Falling Moon Bow, which directly increased their strength.

An important problem restricting archers is the problem of sustained strength, elite archers, after training, arm strength is very large, endurance is also very strong, in the case of habitual use of 3 stone bows, they can fire 30 times in a row, this is already the limit of the archer, if the power is not reduced under the premise, the bow power is reduced to 1 stone, or even half a stone, less than 6 times the strength, they can shoot arrows not only increased by 6 times, sustained combat ability and comprehensive quality, is a collective improvement.

just shot an arrow, but the people watching from the side, except for Miao Yuan, the others were all masters, Sun Ji and Qu Yang, the more they talked, the more excited they became, and the two of them kept saying all kinds of imaginations, this bow was said to be an epoch-making weapon, enough to improve the entire Northern Song Dynasty army.

Although they can also see that the position of the longbow is quite accurate, in terms of specific use, they still continue the old way of thinking, their focus is a little different, they are still ready to hold the longbow, instead of the short bow.

Using it like this is not the correct way to open the longbow, using it like this, it can also give full play to part of the effect of the longbow, and the improvement will not be as big as Sun Ji imagined, because the longbow and the short bow are two things, and the logistical pressure caused will greatly reduce the effect of the longbow, not to mention that if the longbow shoots directly, it will be positioned at the level of the labor-saving bow, and there is no advantage in range.

Zhao Xin walked up to Sun Ji and Qu Yang, who were having a lively discussion, interrupted their chat, and interjected, "Sun Guard, you can try throwing shots." ”

Ejection? As an excellent archer who is proficient in archery, Sun Ji knows very well what it means to throw a shot, which means that the range is further enhanced, he has tried to throw and can increase the range by about half, and for the jasper bow, this range increase is extremely obvious.

Sun Ji knows that the projectile range is very long, and rarely uses the projectile, the reason is very simple, the projectile is controlled, and the difficulty is huge, which does not match his style, the continuous arrow is very fast, but the accuracy and control performance are first-class, and the projectile has nothing else except to increase the range.

Before changing, Sun Ji would definitely hesitate, a longbow that they were not optimistic about, but it was so powerful, obviously, Zhao Xin had already considered all aspects of the problem when choosing him, since this was the case, it was better to listen to him.

Directly opened his bow and was about to shoot, but he heard Zhao Xin's words: "Don't panic first, the angle is wrong!" ”

Sun Ji is indeed preparing to throw, but the angle is wrong, it is very large, it is more than 65 degrees, such a projectile can increase the range a little, but it is not much, which is different from what Zhao Xin requested.

Zhao Xin stopped Sun Ji and made a request, what Zhao Xin asked him was a 45-degree projectile, which is also the best angle of the parabola, whether it is an artillery or a longbow, using this angle, under the premise of the same strength, the best range can be achieved.

The previous outstanding performance made Sun Ji listen to Zhao Xin's words, the difficulty of the projectile was very difficult, fortunately, there was no target in front, when the longbow was full of bows, it was common to fly out like an arrow from the string, and it circled a beautiful arc in the air, and finally landed in the saline-alkali ground in the distance, at least more than 200 steps.

"So far!" Qu Yang's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe everything in front of him at all, because he also knew a little bit about projectiles, at most, it was half of the increase, that is, 140 steps, a lot of improvement, but without the point of accuracy, it didn't have much effect, when this half, doubled, or even more, the meaning was different.

There is no need to calculate, under visual inspection, Sun Ji has already judged that this final range is more than 200 steps, such a light weapon, can shoot so far, a good weapon, it is completely like child's play, without any professional training, it has not even been made with a bow, after simple guidance, it can be made, and the time is very fast, and it can be made in about 2 hours.

What does this mean, it represents a large number of productions, when an elite 2 stone bow, its price is as high as 3.5 runs, the price of such a bow, even if it is dead, will not exceed 200 Wen, maybe the arrow is a little more expensive, use a little more, it is always acceptable,

The accuracy of the projectile is not high, and when the enemy is far away, when a dense group charge is carried out, it can also be considered, using the projectile to disrupt the enemy's arrangement, and the rest is useless.

Zhao Xin noticed that Sun Ji's eyes just lit up, and without much surprise on his expression, he knew that he didn't know the true effect of the long bow

"Sun Guard, do you think this is the greatest effect of this bow?"

"Isn't it?" Sun Ji looked at Zhao Xin with a little solemnity, originally with the confidence of a divine archer, in terms of bow and crossbow, there are not many people in the Great Song Army who can surpass him, but Zhao Xin's solid performance proves that in the field of this bow in his hand, he is far inferior.

Sun Ji has never been a person who is so proud that he ignores everything, he is very smart and good at learning, this bow has proved its power with real performance, so, what is the real effect that Zhao Xin said.

Zhao Xin raised two fingers and said calmly: "The first advantage is the rate of fire!" ”
